Myasthenia Gravis Specialists and Care Centers

Thoracic surgery

Thoracic surgeons treat patients who require surgical solution to diseases and disorders of the chest, including myasthenia gravis.

Northwestern Medicine board-certified thoracic surgeons1 have extensive expertise in managing the full spectrum of malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) diseases of the lung, chest wall, pleura, mediastinum and esophagus. Your primary care physician or a physician specialist such as a cardiologist, pulmonologist or gastroenterologist may refer you to a thoracic surgeon if they feel that you would receive more effective treatment for a condition affecting the thoracic region.

The Thoracic Surgery Program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital offers the latest surgical procedures for benign and malignant diseases of the chest, including the tracheobronchial tree (airways), lungs, pleura, esophagus, diaphragm, chest wall and mediastinum. Our program is composed of a highly specialized team1 that provides integrated care and practices medicine centered on each patient’s unique circumstances, including:
